High end for Warriors I would generally reccomend Hammer, seen a lot of people use it when I was in midgard, it generally seems the most balanced of the weapon lines.

Sword is okish, slam and ragnarok can be pretty damaging provided you have zero quickness, however hammer has some pretty nice positionals.

Axe, it a bit meh, I remember from when playing my zerk, the actual styles wernt really that good but were ok since the weapon selection on axes is pretty nice.

Warrior are nice yep, and like Sharma said I like hammer, swords also good and yus! axe is wank With hammer you get nice rear snare, low end styles, nice dmg etc.. sword has ragnarok which is cool I guess, but most sword styles eat end real fast. Go hammur!

Hammer very low end Taunt Provoke anytime hit...ok damage !
Conquer 1 of the best hits from behind enemy...nobody escapes you anymore !

Axe (my warrior) - very good any time work tools from any side of the enemy
and Looks Very nasty ! Biggest troll with Axe if you go 1 on 1 a lot very good front side hits !

Good luck !

Well, frontal styles.. much targets you are on, are strafing (lag hopping) nowadays, making positional useless, and i have axe on my skald

So hammer seems best option, any restrictions with ToA (arti's) ? (Next patch)

Rag owns any hammer style, I respecced on Prydwen and noticed my damage upped alot (I play with a shambot /stuck to me tho so not sure about end)

One issue with Hammer I guess before 1.69 is the lack of artifact weapons. Though after 1.69 you can get Malice or Batler just like everyone else
